Following her remarks, Ambassador LeVine, her husband Eric, and their two children marched in the parade with other diplomats including U.K. Ambassador David Moran and Finnish Ambassador Jari Petteri Luoto. Along the parade route activist and drag queen Jazzmin Moore interviewed the Ambassador about President Obama’s proclamation of June as Pride Month.
